There is another answer to this, though. And it's the power of stepping back on their decisions. She could have simply made it so that he didn't become a revenant, *but still* met her mom under different circumstances, and was born. Regardless, all of this equates to nonsense anyway. After all, by the time they defeat Kronika, they exist in a place that is outside of times reach. The timeline is rewound all the way to the past. Technically what all of them did *should* have had them *all* never be born, and this includes Liu and Shang Tsung. So if they didn't just turn to dust and disappear, why does she?

To further cement that the whole story is that the Titan Shang Tsung should have been Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa and voiced by him. Would have been a great twist and also brought him back in for a cameo. He also plays like his former self too so having your MK1 character going up against him with his Ermac lifts, ninja slides, and fireballs would have been quite OP and feel like a proper boss. Would have also been good to see Robin Shou, and the cast of the 1995 MK film make a cameo in helping the good side. Bring in known variations of Goro from the original 2D era version where he literally has no neck, a small pumpkin head and giant timber arms, with the 1995 MK version with his long torso, all with unique fighting styles would have been masterful.

Kronika shouldve been fleshed out in her own trilogy, shes a whole tier above elder gods and the cutscenes fodderized her and discredited her actual power, Kang said at some point she lost her sanity due to mettling with the flow of time and in 11 when she is visibly using her power, if her goal of "balance" wasnt achieved she rage quit the server and rebooted it, her sanity, (As Kano showed in SB) got her to the point she even revealed herself to all enemies when she pretty much had it on lock until she became unhinged. She wanted balance, was essentially neutral, but couldn't cope with external forces getting further than she intended. Seeing as she was unable to achieve her vision, she got sloppy over time in her madness and a lot of people dont see she's pretty broken. I have sympathy towards her character, but they rushed her concept. She was essentially timeless so everything she went through she had to cope with mostly alone. Its sad man, Geras was the impartial creation she sought the world to be. Suffering and enduring at the same time. Her backstory would be lit. And missed opportunity to make her playable, but yeah she survived multiple MK11 endings so this "trend" of "timelines and multiversity" oversaturated proper character development to accept ass pulls and new era retcons. I was happy to see her, and even happier for the swerve, Shang was the threat she always knew, and Kang was the hope she had to hinder, when they collided, even she had to move her hand. Thats the enormity of her impact. No one unaware stood a ghost of a chance. Hell, an Unrestricted Trio of Geras, Shinnok, and Cetrion, wouldve been enough, people give too much credit to the og villains, but she put all of that in place. She real life got bored or lost sight of her original goal that made her take risks and make mistakes against beings she literally had a hand in creating.

[@mr.awesome6011]

No the fuck it wasn't. Fans who have been there from the beginning experienced great world building with many different characters big and small and games that weren't afraid to take risks. The last two MK games have been the safest MK games ever made with the overreliance of nostalgia and timetravel/multiverse fuckshit. These gimmicks have done nothing but make everything far less significant and homogenized the narrative and once expansive lore of MK to the simple minded levels of comic book superhero stories like DC and Marvel. MK is just a tryhard MCU these days.
